CREATIVE BRIEF

TARGET MARKETAdults, school-aged youth and

community members.

MANDATORIESMaintain core values and always include the website in advertisements.

TONEChild and parent

friendly; thrilling yet direct.

MAIN OBJECTIVE FOR ADVERTISINGIncrease participation in the Boy Scouts program by changing negative perceptions while continuing to motivate Scouts and volunteers to stay active in the program.

Page 16: The Boyscouts of America Campaign

P E A R L I N T E G R AT I O N S

NET TAKEAWAYThe Boy Scouts has been and will always be a traditional, service based organization. Scouts should take away lifelong skills that will help them become strong members in their societies.

PROBLEM AND OPPORTUNITYCurrent problems have been maintaining membership because of limited knowledge and changes in member interest as they mature under peer pressure. Current opportunities for the Boy Scouts are to maintain membership, increase target market and attract committed volunteers.

COMPETITORSThe Boy Scouts are faced with competition such as youth athletic programs, religious organizations and after school programs. Our technology driven society creates more alternative activities for children.

STYLE GUIDEIt is important for the Boy Scouts of America to follow a style guide because it will unify the look of the campaign.

FONTS

• Dirty Ego is a headline font primarily used in advertisements directed toward children throughout the campaign. It is the font used when writing the slogan “Get on Our Level.”, written in capitalization.

• Bebas Neue is a font used in headlines for parent advertisements. Its impact is similar to Dirty Ego, but has a cleaner readability.

• Abadi MT Condensed Light is the font chosen for the body copy in all advertisements. It also compliments both headline fonts.

LOGO

The updated logo helps the organization look unified and makes their activities a little more intense.

SWATCHESLOGO

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

• When using a black background, the splatter brush in Adobe Illustrator can be used. The splatter marks are always white and at a 25% opticity.

A rustic, burnt red and deep navy blue have been substituted for the former colors because it will appeal to an older crowd, and make youth feel more sophisticated and responsible. A black swatch was added to the palate to make scouting seem tough, cool and more extreme.

• Billboard extensions can be added from 5 to 5’6 feet on top, 2 feet on the side, and 1 foot on the bottom, depending on local restrictions.

LOCATION• Outdoor billboards will be placed

TELEVISION SPOTThis TV ad shows young men engaging in extreme sports, not traditionally associated with Boy Scouts of America. The commercial illustrates a new image of a thrilling and vibrant organization. Shots and music are fast-paced, exciting and uses a tone that captivates viewers.

• 97.8% of all American households have televisions • Kids ages 6-11 spend about 28 hours a week in front of the TV• 71% of 8 to 18 year-olds have a TV in their bedroom • In about 2/3 of households, the TV is “usually” on during meals• In 51% of households, the TV is on “most” of the time • Most children’s programming does not teach what parents say they want their

children to learn

ADDITIONAL FACTS

P E A R L I N T E G R AT I O N S

EXPLANATION

It has become apparent, boys are leaving the program due to lack of acceptance from peers, interest in other activities and time constraints. This advertisement was created to improve the perception of the Boy Scout program for youth.

Based upon our research, we are confident that this commercial will be successful in attracting members who would otherwise opt for activities other than the Boy Scouts of America.

Television stations that adults and children both watch on a regular basis. The TV spot will run on the local ABC and NBC affiliate stations as well as Nickelodeon and ESPN. These stations reach our target market and perfectly pair with our upbeat TV spot.

our plan

The commercial will run weekdays during afterschool hours and weekend mornings. Our research has shown our target audiences tend to watch TV during these time periods.

NON-TRADITIONAL

Part of our creative work includes preshow movie marketing because it connects with an attentive and captive audience. More than half of all theatergoers are in their seats during the preshow and with the right pre-movie advertisement, the Boy Scouts of America can excite and influence boys and their parents about signing up for the program.

• Advertisements run before a captive audience, before all shows and 7 days per week

• 100,000 movie patrons per month

• Each cinema runs 4 to 5 shows per day per auditorium Approximately: 2160 to 2700 shows per month

• Program begins 15 minutes prior to every show

• Advertisement length pricing is listed in 15 second ad spots

• 26% of U.S. moviegoers are within the age of 2 to 17 (our target market)

• The average moviegoer (18-39 at 42%) sees approximately 6 movies a year

• Payment plans available

P E A R L I N T E G R AT I O N S

Preflix movie marketing was selected as part of our advertising plan because it connects to an attentive and captive audience. Nearly a third of all U.S. moviegoers are within our target market. Since the average moviegoer sees about six movies annually, the right preshow advertisement has potential to excite children and parents about signing up for the Boy Scouts of America program.

RADIO AD

The radio advertisements are testimonials that provide copy targeting Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and adults that have participated in the program. The testimonials will capture the individual stories about what the program means personally. Expressing action and adventure will be the main objective which will be a a great representation for the potential that the Boy Scouts of America has to change lives.

SOCIAL MEDIA“Share Your Story”As an extension of the radio ads, Scouts are able to post their personal stories to hopefully be chosen for the next radio ad. Scouts can continually post their stories and every two months the Boy Scouts will choose one new story to run. Weekly PostThe post will contain information regarding Boy Scouts along with specific troops community service projects. There also will be posts about the new advertisement campaign.

Monthly Troop TakeoverEach month a troop will be selected to post about what their troop is doing. The specific individuals within the troops can discuss projects, fundraisers and new activities. This engages the current members as well as informing perspective members on each troop.

“Share Your Story”Also an extension of the radio

advertisement. This differs from Facebook because it serves as a way to market via YouTube and there will be a contest once a month for a story to be featured on the main website.

Monthly Troop TakeoverA different troop takes over all social media each month by posting videos about their troops as a whole, their projects and activities. Members are able to share why they love the Boy Scouts and what the Boy Scouts has taught them.

Personal YouTube PageEach troop has their own YouTube page that feeds into the Boy Scout main YouTube page.

Weekly TweetsTweets will inform followers of new activities, projects and valuable information about the Boy Scouts.

Social media is the newest form of interactive advertising reaching a wide variety of individuals. This tool is free and extremely easy to use when properly managed. The Internet, being a primary source of communication and entertainment for our youth, gives us a fresh, inexpensive and convenient path to reach our target market.

Page 33: The Boyscouts of America Campaign

Promotions for Boy Scouts of America will involve potential Boy Scouts and the community. By involving the public in the plan, it will not only increase the number of boys interested in the programs but will also give the Boy Scouts of America a more positive image.

Work with local museums and/or sporting venues to create a discount program. The program gives family members of the Boy Scout program memberships or tickets at a discounted price. These discounts are all given at venues that support the active and educational lifestyle which the Boy Scout program supports.

Sponsoring a West Michigan Whitecaps game will be beneficial to the Boy Scouts of America program. Not only will members get to watch

an exciting game with their friends, but also fans will learn about the Boy Scouts program and how they can potentially get involved.

Boy Scouts of America will provide lunch tray liners to schools in advance to promote the scheduled visit at the beginning of the school year. The liners will include information about the school visit and how to sign up.

Stickers and wristbands will be distributed to students during school visits. They will be used to supplement informational papers and excite students. Stickers can be placed on their notebooks or t-shirts and wristbands can be worn, increasing brand recognition. Details about information night will be printed on the stickers.

Public Relations can strengthen an organization during positive and negative times. It is vital for the Boy Scouts of America to have a strong presence in the community to shed a positive light about themselves. Strong relationships with local media outlets is a great tool to provide free advertising.
